Wow! This has sure whetted my apetite for a pair (or two ) 

One very small feedback...Paul actually said, "The midrange is where we live". But the statement in the original post still makes sense in context because the Jubilee is a two-way system and there is only one HF driver.

Are these things on the Klipsch website?  If so, can someone post a link?  My feeble brain is not turning them up anywhere...

Doug,

the 2 way version isn't shown on the forum but is availalbe as a special order.  The 'standard' 3-way version is in the cinema lineup and IS shown on the forum, but that is not what we're using.

You can read this thread and get a drift on what the deal is, OR just do a search on Jubilee and grab a pot of coffee

I'm sorry that I don't have any pictures to post - gotta get a digital camera!!!

You don't need a digital camera, just a scanner.  I listen to analogue music and take analogue photos and that's just fine with me.  Well, I do have some CDs...

One of the most important pieces of information that I would like to know is, "what room/venue are you using--I assume it is outside(?) If so, is there a roof and side walls?"

comments from listeners at our restaurant as well as those from invited guests to our home where I have been A/Bing the Jubilees to our Klipschorn / Belle Klipsch center system , as well as a TSCM system and the LaScalas, Cornwalls and Heresys. 

Bill, Have you moved them back/forth?  Moving Jubilees isn't too high on my "10 things I want to do before I die" list.  I once wondered what you would do in your off season...  leave the Jubilees at the restaurant or grunt them home?

Yes I have moved them home to Arizona with me for the winter. Being without them for six months would be too much to bear. Actually, I wanted the opportunity to make a detailed comparison between the Jubilees and each of my other systems without the interuptions I would face at the restaurant. I have learned more in the last month than I have learned in 30 years!

Excellent write up. PWK & Roy hit one out of the ballpark with the Klipschorn Jubilee. Are live bands use the Jubilees to play through?

 

Please post some pics! 

Yes we are using the Jubilees for live bands. The word has gotten out and the musicians invite their friends to come and enjoy the performance because they have never sounded better. We booked a regional singer/songwriter who sang for the closing ceremonies of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. She enjoyed it so much she has been back to perform twice.

You are absolutely correct. I was paraphrasing

The patio has side walls but no roof. Dimensions for the patio are 27' wide x 75' deep. It is remarkable how good the sound is with no "room issues" to deal with.

Bill.

Thanks. most interesting review.

"But the statement in the original post still makes sense in context because the Jubilee is a two-way system and there is only one HF driver."

Well, that just mean we're living even more in the midrange cause now there ain't no tweeter.:)

I really appreciate all the comments about Jubilee speakers!

It seems there are a lot of comments about dynamics, low distortion, bass response, etc..., however I haven't noticed comments about the tonal character of instruments (e.g. the sound of a Fender Stratocaster on a Fender Twin Reverb amp, or a Gibson Les Paul on a Marshall Stack, or a 1936 Martin D-28, or a 1923 Gibson Lloyd Loar mandolin, or a Steinway Grand Piano, etc...).  I've realized that electronics play a large roll in providing a natural or "real" sense of the tone and character of these particular instruments.  Can the Jubilee owners speak to the unique characteristics that the combination of Crown SS gear and Jubilees provide in this regard?

Thanks!
